This does conflict with the fixed vegetarians mod though, with both active (and no other mods) it is giving everyone the -20 "distasteful" debuff when they eat, regardless of if they are vegetarian or the meal is meat.

This is especially useful when playing the Guardians scenario, Hope no longer recharges herself on the relatively expensive energy drink when she doesn't need to!

Thank you for the mod.
Can this be done for sleeping & relaxing too?
I want to change the threshold at which they want to relax or sleep.

...lieber ohne...

Mod is kind of fukt when it comes to compatability. It's broken with both Blue Moss Expedition and More Interactions. In BOTH cases, it causes tons of stupid buffs to shower upon your dudes while they are eating.

This is almost 100% certainly caused by the changes to happiness. Can we have a version without it, or some kind of fix? Two mods that work together fine, both are broken with this one mod.

Oh, did I forget to mention that, @tiamats4esgares?

These values/pieces of content are all interconnected. You can't adjust one without affecting the others, or the game balance will be thrown off.

In this case, if I simply tweaked the hunger threshold, the survivors would be unhappy for 9 hours a day because they would feel the need to eat even when they don't want to.

This mod also greatly lowers debuffs from being hungry, and gives more buffs for being full. Stealth cheat. Bad mod. D:

That's a good question, @antlucasexe. I will have to investigate why it's done this way.

Huh. This explains why my survivors insist on completing all Handling tasks before they even consider going to eat or relax when Handling is set to 3. If there are enough tasks to last all day, they just don't eat until it becomes critical.

Would it not be wiser to move Eating, Relaxing and Sleeping to appear before Handling in the priorities table?

Regarding priorities, Eating, Relaxing, and Sleeping are hidden activities that appear after Handling in the Activities UI. By default, they are assigned priority 3. As long as all other activities have a priority of 3 or higher number, survivors will eat, relax, and sleep whenever their respective needs arise.

However, if there are activities with priority 1 or 2, survivors will prioritize those tasks until their levels of fullness, relaxation, or rest reach low levels. At that point, the priority of the corresponding eating, relaxing or sleeping activity should increase to 1.

Unfortunately, this behavior is currently not functioning correctly.

Just to clarify, the known issue I was referring to is present in the base game itself, and it is not caused by the mod itself.

During the designated Relax and Anything hours, characters are permitted to eat. However, this mod makes them not want to eat if their Fullness stat is more than 25%, which is significantly lower than the vanilla game's default of 60%. As a result, they may not be willing to eat during the limited time frame when eating is allowed.

Try adjusting the "Eat At %" option in the mod options to 40% or more and observe if it yields better results for your play style.

As far as I know, none of the mods I have made should conflict with one another.

@Mnementh Yes I have a lot of priority 1 tasks. I usually set them to relax for 1 hour in the morning when they wake up, then "anything" for 2 hours, which is when they normally eat if they want to or if not keep relaxing if they want or if not they go back to work. (They can eat during "relax" time too by default). I've noticed (without this mod) that normally they will prioritize working over relaxing on "anything" but they will still eat when they need to.

Do they need to be on "relax" to eat if they have a lot of priority 1 and 2 tasks?

Also, I just recently subbed to the mod that will let me number the tasks 1-9. If I start with 3 as the lowest, will that fix the problem or does this mod somehow conflict with that one?

@tiamats4esgares, are your survivors on Anytime schedule, with a lot of priority 1 or 2 tasks to do? There is a known issue where the importance of the Eating activity does not advance to priority 1, causing people to neglect prioritizing eating until they finish higher priority tasks.

It's not really working for me. They just don't eat at all and starve and I have to force them to eat. :-\

Btw I set it to 40% because its low enough that they're actually hungry at that point, but still high enough to give them time to get to a meal before they start to really suffer. Works perfectly

OMG these mods are a godsend. Finally I don't have to police my survivors' eating habits 24 hours a day anymore. Thank you!

@Mnementh, Just noticed it. Thanks very much!

Intermittent fasting for the win!

@htdang12, I have added "Look To Eat %" option in the Mod Options section of the Options menu. Seems to be working as expected.

I'm glad to help :)

Fair enough. I hope people will be able to find them anyway buried away amongst all these endless character mods

Thank you for the options. It has not escaped my attention that many of these mods address issues I've raised myself in the forum, so I do appreciate it (even if they'll apparently never make it into the game proper)

Well, there are many different approaches to game design and game balance. I'm making mods in my spare time because I find it relaxing, not because the selected approach for any of the mods is necessarily the best one.

Not that I'm not grateful for the options. I just think they'd better serve the game if they were actually, you know, in the game.

Kinda begs the question - Why make these options as mods hidden away in the Workshop where many players won't ever look for them, rather than as menu options in the game setup screen?

I am.

Aren't you one of the devs?

It shouldn't be too difficult. I will check.

Thanks for this - works well. Would it be possible to have some type of slider in mod options to change the percentage from 25 to, say, 33 or so? I ask because i'd like to avoid the "ravenously hungry" debuff.

If not, it's fine because it's really useful anyway. Thanks again.
